The Electronic Government Portal Advisory Board as established in ORS 182.128 is intended to advise the Department of Administrative Services on key decisions and strategic choices regarding how the state manages and operates the web portal services that may be provided through a third party portal provider.

The Oregon.gov portal is the connection point for citizens to access state agency services and information on the Internet. “Web portal services” means providing the hosting, web content management, electronic commerce, public collaboration and application development needed to operate and maintain Oregon.gov and conduct electronic commerce transactions online.
With the Board’s advice, the department wants to make the Oregon.gov portal and its operation as effective as it can be for the people of Oregon to interface with state government.
